The Saints had a flurry of activity the first two days, re-signing defensive tackle Nick Fairly to a four-year deal; signing linebacker A.J. Klein to a three-year deal; signing guard Larry Warford to a four-year contract; and inking a three-year deal with wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.

New Orleans' biggest splash, however, occurred Friday night when the Saints sent wide receiver Brandin Cooks and a fourth-round pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for a first-round pick (32
nd
overall) and a third-round pick (103
rd
overall).

The Saints still have positions of need to address, specifically the defensive line and cornerback groups.

And the Saints were interested in cornerback Marcus Cooper, who eventually signed a three-year deal Saturday with the Chicago Bears.
